Ciao Mountain Zone, here is Simone from Base Camp — Everest Base Camp. This moment it is snowing. That is usual every afternoon, since one week it is snowing but not so much, but a few centimeters and in the morning, with the first sun, every snow is melted.

Anyway, the plan for tomorrow for me and Denis will be to go already in Camp I. So tomorrow will be the first step of our expedition. We want to go to 6100 meters and put our first camp and we also want to sleep there. We feel both very good and tomorrow will be the occasion to take the first digital pictures during our climb.

So ciao and we'll be called together again tomorrow. Bye-bye.

Simone Moro, MountainZone.com Correspondent
